Re: How do you imagine yourself after 10 years?

Re: How do you imagine yourself after 10 years?

If you'd asked me this in, say, 2007 or 2008, I'd have said exactly the same, 'trapped' at home in my 'prison' with no independence, no freedom, no confidence, no future. That was my mindset and my conviction at the time, and I remember it well. It lasted up to late 2009/early 2010.

My discovery of J.U.B. quite literally changed my life, I've said it many times on here. The moral of the story is never to be convinced nothing can change, because it can happen ever after you've already given up, and when you least expect it.

Re: How do you imagine yourself after 10 years?

Well, I've been sorely heartbroken, and on and off depressed, for well over a decade now. The last guy I tried to date, tried to kill me. A few months ago, I got fired from my job, after 7 years, for a theft I didn't commit. I'm tired. Tired of trying to be a good person and trying to do the right thing and being beat down for it, by liars and psychos and the greedy bastards that always seem to get what they want and come out ahead.

Ten years? Seriously?
I'm 47. I hope I'm long dead.

Strap on a pair, bitch!!

... and go big as you leave!

Yeah, this is the sort of post that might keep busy and scared the clueless, stupid, worthless payrolled cyberwatchers... let's enjoy it as long as it lasts!

Re: How do you imagine yourself after 10 years?

All of you planning on dying in your seventies - I'll take your spare years. Any of you planning on "living fast and dying young" too. I want to live for centuries. I'm a curious bastard; I always want to know what's next.

You just need to read past history: the more you know about the past, the better you can figure out the future. In any case, you will never reach the end of times...

Re: How do you imagine yourself after 10 years?

Well I'll be 49, so I'll be preparing for my second mid-life crisis - I've decided i'm not dying till I get a telegram from the Queen at 100 - I'll have my degree & possibly a masters, I'll also hopefully have a home of my own & maybe a French bulldog named Ralph. Sounds like bliss to me.

Re: How do you imagine yourself after 10 years?

A very rich day trader living in a huge mansion by myself. I'll have a boyfriend by then but we live separately. I'll have some good close friends who know about my sexuality. I'll be closer to my family than ever before and they are all cool about my being gay. I'll be having way more fun than I ever used to before, living my dream...

It is not about expectations, it is about lucidity. That some fill it up with illusions and wishfuls does not mean the original purpose has changed, just like something is not true just because you say it IS so.
